Ok so I'm a 16/m, almost 17. I have a great group fo friends, and were all pretty close. However, some of us arent AS close as we are with others in the group. Now I have been best friends with my friend, we will call larry, for 3 years, but have known him for about 5. Now he is growing closer to another friend in our clique who we will call bob. I am also close with bob. Both of them act really different when they are together, and to be honest i can't stand being around them when they are together. I also feel that im fading away from my closeness with larry. I would talk to him about it, but he can't exactly have a serious conversation. So what can i do? Am I wrong for drifting away from my once best friend?

My best friend from 6th and 7th grade was getting more and more distant from me, and closer to the other people in our group. I don't really know how, but we started gettin closer again. I think what you need to do is try to get Larry to calm down enough where you can have a calm conversation with him sayin that you kinda feel like you are bein left out some. And no, you are not wrong. I don't think it is all your fault, but kind of both of your faults. I'm not saying you or Larry did anything wrong, but that you both started hanging out with other people. And that kind of stuff happens. I understand how you can think it is either all your or his fault, but it is really just part of life. I mean, you can't hang out with all your friends all the time, and you will probably have a lot of different best friends, and there is nothing wrong with that. But you just need to talk to Larry and try to get him to understand that you feel like you are being left out. I hope that helps. [ ChaosDragon's advice column | Ask ChaosDragon A Question ]
